The relation of shellfish to fish in Oneida Lake, New York

An ecological study of southern Wisconsin fishes; the brook silversides (Labidesthes sicculus) and the cisco (Leucichthys artedi) in their relations to the region,

“…Notes on its food have been presented by Forbes (1878Forbes ( , 1883Forbes ( , 1888, Forbes and Richardson (1908), Baker (1916Baker ( , 1918, Evermann and Clark (1920), Pearse (1915) and Flubbs (1921). This represents the status of our knowledge at the time of publication by Hubbs (1921) It is interesting and important to note that the change in growth rate which occurs toward the end of July, as shown in figure 22, is intimately correlated with two important changes in the habits of the fish: 1) the assumption of a shallow water habitat in place of the deep water situation; and 2) the change from an entomostracan diet to a mixed ration of entomostraca and insects, which is merely a transition stage leading to a culmination in an almost entirely insectivorous diet which is characteristic of the 1923. Once the fact of this nocturnal-diurnal migration was established, the next step was to accumulate the facts concerning it: the time at which it occurred both in the morning and at night; the conditions existing when the migration did not occur as well as when it did occur; a correlation between light conditions and migration; chemical conditions of the water in possible relation to the movement, and various other phases of the problem.…”

Eutrophication and Dreissena Invasion as Drivers of Biodiversity: A Century of Change in the Mollusc Community of Oneida Lake

“…At the beginning of the 20 th century, F. C. Baker [22], [23] conducted one of the world’s first quantitative benthic studies and found Oneida to support the most diverse molluscan communities in the state (>42 species, including 32 gastropods). Subsequent studies replicating Baker’s sampling design were conducted in 1967 at the peak of eutrophication [24], and in 1992–95 shortly after the invasion of Dreissena in 1991 [25].…”

Some ecological relationships of mayflies, caddisflies, and fish in the Mississippi River near Keokuk, Iowa

“…Neither mayflies nor caddisflies were reported in studies by Forbes (1880b), Pearse (1918), Sibley (1929), Ridenhour (1960), Micklus (1961), and Seaburg and Moyle (1964 Pearse (1918 and, Turner (1921), and DeRyke (1922). Mayfly foods were reported by Baker (1916), Evermann and Clark (1920), Allin (1929), Ewers (1933), Ewers and Boesel (1935), and Carlander (1944). Mayfly naiads made up 85 percent of the food of 22 logperch collected in New York (Rimsky-Korsakoff, 1930).…”

“…predominating (Baker, 1916). Pearse (1918) found mayfly naiads to constitute only 0.3 percent of the food of 57 shiners from Wisconsin.…”

“…Forbes (1888a) and Forbes and Richardson (1920) reported Hexagenia naiads from four of 12 yellow bullheads examined. Baker (1916) reported Hexagenia naiads from one yellow bullhead from Oneida Lake. Mayfly naiads made up 10 percent of the food of two yellow bullheads examined by Pearse (1922).…”
